Indiana State Agricultural Heritage Center

Abstract

Circulation does not stop at the door when a person is approaching or exiting a building. Likewise, the environment does not stop at the door when transitioning from exterior to interior space. Many times, a major design opportunity is lost when trying to create this transition between exterior and interior space.As a model to study and practice these ideas, I am designing a Center that is focussed on the agricultural heritage of Indiana. With a project of this nature, the opportunity exists to explore how people can be moved through spaces on a journey and an exploration through history and time. It also presents itself as a study of how interior and exterior spaces can supplement one other.
